Armstrong Summary and Connection/Response/Question
For the remainder of the chapters in the Armstrong text, I would like you to write a summary and connection/response - minimum 500 words.
The same guidelines for the summary portion of this writing will apply. The difference will be in the focus of the summary and the connection you make to the text.
For these summaries, I would like you to find one portion of the chapter that you understand well because you are able to make a direct connection with it. You only need to summarize this concept of the chapter (though additional summary to give the full context may be necessary).
After you have made the summary, explain the connection you make with this point. The connection can be ANYTHING as long as it is relevant and shows your comprehension of what it is she presents. You may include connections that you make because of what you are studying in other classes. You may make a connection based on something from your personal life (though not so personal you cannot share it with others in class). You may make a connection to a movie you have seen or a story you have read. The connection might be about something you have observed in someone else’s life or in the news. Whatever – just be sure you fully explain how the connection relates and how it helps you to better understand and *connect* with Armstrong’s concept.
DO NOT make a connection to other Armstrong concepts. She already does this for us. You need to make your own, unique and personal connection.
Additionally, at the end of these assignments, add on a question you have about this chapter, or concern re: something you don't understand - one or two sentences is all you need.
Format
MLA format – Similar to that as outlined for Reading Q&A, only indicate what chapter of Armstrong’s text the summary covers.
Feedback
I will return these submissions as soon as possible with end-note commentary where necessary.
Grading
Each summary/connection may earn up to 10 points each based on content and style.
